ABSTRACT
Gestational diabetes mellitus is a condition in which carbohydrate
intolerance develops and is diagnosed for the first time in pregnancy without a clear pre-existence of type 1 or type 2 diabetes. It is a
pathology of great importance due to its increasing prevalence and
association to maternal, fetal and/or neonatal complications that affect
multiple areas of medicine and the community. Although there is still
controversy regarding its diagnosis, multiple studies recommend a 2-
step method based on a 50-gram oral glucose screen and then a 3-
hour glucose tolerance test with a 100-gram glucose ingestion in those
women that present a positive screening. The mainstay of the
treatment will consist of healthy diet and positive lifestyles. For those
patients that require pharmacological treatment, the main entity will
continue to be insulin, though one may also use metformin as a viable
alternative. There is still much to explore and determine in this
complex pathology, in order to achieve consensus between the
different guidelines and obtain the best recommendations for the
population worldwide.
